Tulipmania: Pier 39 begins celebration of blooms


"I tell people that not all 39,000 bulbs will bloom at once,"says Denise Dirickson, the director of environmental services at Pier 39, where Tulipmania begins Saturday.

But 39,000 is about the number of bulbs that Dirickson and her team of gardeners planted in the days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. In the coming weeks, they'll adorn the gardens and barrels around the pier with a riot of purples, pinks, oranges and yellows.
